Chapter 28
Officially Accepted into Wisdom Academy
Although Cla.s.s 7th was not one of the best cla.s.ses, it was still considered an average cla.s.s by any means.
It would not be embarra.s.sing for someone to transfer out of City No.1 High School and be placed in the 7th cla.s.s of Wisdom Academy.
However, if she were to be put into Cla.s.s 13th, Ling Bei would have a hard time explaining it to First Young Master.
“I’m sorry, a.s.sistant Ling, but these are the rules of Wisdom Academy,” the a.s.sistant said in a respectful yet firm manner.
This rule regarding streaming students into different cla.s.ses based on their ability was implemented to prevent them from copying answers, especially multiple-choice questions.
“Nevermind, a.s.sistant Ling. I don’t mind being in Cla.s.s 13th. I heard that there are several tests held throughout each semester, so I guess I’ll just have to study harder from now on,” Ruan Mengmeng said as she tried persuading Ling Bei.
Others would a.s.sume she was just an incredibly understanding person judging from her reaction to the news. Though it was actually because on the inside she was ecstatic.
Cla.s.s 13th in Wisdom Academy was the cla.s.s where all the nouveau riches were gathered. Her best friend, Mu Jingxing, happened to be in Cla.s.s 13th as well.
Upon seeing that Ruan Mengmeng was such an understanding girl, the a.s.sistant Chairman grew fonder of her.
Just moments ago, he had marked the test paper. Although he was not sure of the reasoning behind it, he could tell that Ruan Mengmeng intentionally chose not to answer the subjective questions.
If she approached things more seriously, nothing would be able to stand in her way.
Since Ruan Mengmeng did not mind being in Cla.s.s 13th, Ling Bei chose not to say much more and accompanied Ruan Mengmeng through the final procedures. Just when the a.s.sistant Chairman stepped out for a while, he immediately asked, “Young Lady Mengmeng, is what you said about the ‘three short and one long’ technique true?”
“Yeah, of course it is,” Ruan Mengmeng nodded, “However, it varies from person to person. It doesn’t work for everybody.”
“Oh, it depends on the person?” Ling Bei thought of the promotion a.s.sessment that he had failed several times. If he mastered the technique, his year-end bonus would be doubled.
“Of course it depends. Luck is another important factor as well. Everyone’s luck varies, for me, I’ll be sure to get an SSR whenever there’s a prize-draw event. I never bought any of my Hero’s skin with cash, I won them all purely from drawing them, as well as my equipment. My critical hit rate is also higher than other people. My best run of luck was drawing ‘another bottle’ 18 times in a row when I bought a drink. Your luck will have to be as good as mine to play that.”
“O-oh, is that so?” Ling Bei gasped in awe.
All of a sudden, he felt as though Ruan Mengmeng had grown much taller and radiated shining rays of golden light.
If her luck was as good as she says, she could have easily made a fortune through winning the lottery!
“Miss Ruan, these are your textbooks and your student card. I’ve already informed your cla.s.s teacher, Miss Lee. You’ll find her in her office on the fourth floor of the Senior Year Building. Your school uniform will be ready in a week, and it’ll be given to you by your cla.s.s teacher.”
The a.s.sistant Chairman walked toward them, interrupting their conversation.
Ruan Mengmeng took her things and put them into her school bag before thanking him for his time.
She then said to Ling Bei, “I’m going to report to cla.s.s. I can go home by myself, so I won’t need the driver to pick me up later.”
“Wait, Young Lady, but…” Without waiting for Ling Bei to finish his sentence, Ruan Mengmeng had already disappeared around the corner.
Looking at her disappearing figure, Ling Bei thought of something and said to the a.s.sistant Chairman behind him, “For the time being, do not tell others that Young Master Li transferred a girl to Wisdom Academy. He wishes to keep this as low-profile as possible.”
At first, Ling Bei did not understand why Young Master Li did not contact and bring the request up with the Chairman personally, but after a few seconds, he seemed to have understood why.
Given Young Lady Mengmeng’s grades, Young Master Li must have felt embarra.s.sed for her, as she could only make it into the 13th cla.s.s.
The a.s.sistant Chairman was slightly stunned, but he then nodded and said, “Rest a.s.sured, I know what to do.”
It seemed like he would not have to pay much attention to Ruan Mengmeng from now on.
Though there was not even a sliver of doubt that only because of Young Master Li did she manage to get a place in the prestigious Wisdom Academy, it was no more than a small favor from him.
With that, Ruan Mengmeng was officially accepted into Wisdom Academy and began her third senior year for the third time.
In the senior year building, Li Xiuli, the cla.s.s teacher as well as the language teacher of Cla.s.s 13th, looked Ruan Mengmeng up and down.
She squinted her eyes slightly and asked in an inquisitive tone, “What is your relationship with Ruan Jiaojiao, the girl studying in the first cla.s.s?”
